TRAIN ROBBERS.
Villains Ditch Southern Pacific
Express.
Then They Proceed to Rife the Express
Car of Ali the Money To BE Found

SAN FRANoIsoo, Aug. 11.--A west bound
passenger train on the Southern Pacific
road was run of switch near Papago,
about fifteen miles east OF Tuscon, Ari-
zona, last night, by four masked men
The engine was derailed, and the express
car robbed Of about $500. The robbery
occurred at the same point where west
bound express was robbed in April last.
On the track beyond where the
train was brought to stand-still the rob
bers had fastened three torpedoes to warn
the engineer and compel him 10 stop his
train. The plan to turn the switch and
ditch the engine was evidently Thought OF
later. AS soon as the train went in the
ditch one of the robbers who was upon the
bank commenced firing Winchester rife.
He shot twice through the sleeper and
twice through the express Car. They
then went to the mail car and made the
men come out and go to the express. They
ordered the messenger to come out
but he would not open the doors. They
then blew the door open with giant
cartridge and forced the mail agent to go
into the car ahead. Two of the robbers
then went in and one of them had Route
Agent Gaut and the mail agent in one end
of the car, while the other covered Smith,
the messenger, with revolver, and made
him open the safe and put the money in q
sack They struck him over the head with
revolver once, but did not injure him
much. There were four men in the gang.
One was on the bank, one on the OPP
posite side of the train, and two
went into the express car. They
did not allow any one to come out Of
the coaches. A complete description OF
the robbe.s has been obtained, and they
are believed to be the same who robbed
the train in April. The railway and the
express companies have each offered $1,000
reward for the arrest Of the robbers. The
train was not making full speed, and the
ditching of the engine and the following
car kept the force of the shock from the
passenger coaches. Another engine was
sent out from Tucson Immediately and the
train hauled into that place.

PEORIA IN MOURNING.
Burying the Victims of the Chats
worth Wreck.
The wounded In That Clty All Doing Well
Expert Investigation Indicates That
the Burning OF the Bridge Was Due to
the Carelessness of Section Men.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-To-day was de-
voted to burying the dead from the Chats
worth wreck and attending to the wants
OF the wounded. A larger crowd Of people
were present in the cemetery than usually
turns out Decoration Day, and the ten little
mounds of earth which mark the resting
places of those who were hidden from
sight yesterday were visited by; large
numbers. Three additional victims
were buried here to-day. The body
Of Mrs. p. ]. Valentine was started
East this evening, her Ave little grief
stricken children accompanying. The un-
fortunate lady's parents reside at Dun
kirk, N. Y. The funeral Of ex-County
Treasurer Weinette was perhaps as largely
attended one as Peoria has ever wit
messed. The funeral Of William Reagan,
which took place under the direction Of the
Independent Order OF Odd Fellows, was
also largely attended. The remains Of
Mrs. Hiram j. Mara were laid beside
those Of her daughter, Mrs. L. F. Putney,
who was buried yesterday. The wounded
in this city are doing we'll, and none OF
them are believed to be in a dangerous
condition. The train this evening brought
taken to the hospital. These were Adam
Schemberger, of Peoria; Miss Alter,
Of West Point. and Mrs. Hazen, OF
| Fort Madison, Ia. But one unidenti-
| fed body remains here. This is that
| of woman. II was to-day removed
from the morgue TO vault in Springdale
| Cemetery. Nothing has been heard from
relatives or friends Of the unknown man
who was buried here under the supposi-
| ton that he was the son Of Willis Smith,
| of this city. Miss JOSH Valdejo will be
buried tomorrow. Miss Pearl Adams still
remains in critical condition at Piper
| City The funeral of p. p. Van Lew was
held at Galesburg this afternoon. Mrs
c. +. Allen was taken to Galesburg last
night, and Is lying in an unconscious state
| The body of Rev. VIM. NJ Collins, of Gales
burg, was buried at Geneseo this morning
by Odd Fellows.
CHAMPAIGN Ill, Aug. Al. o, Baker
president the Illinois Society of Engineers
and professor OF civil engineering in the
University of Illinois, returned last night
from careful personal examination Of
engineering problems of the Chatswortt
disaster and an examination of the condi
ton of the other bridges and culverts, and
protection from fire given those culverts
by road officials and track hands. He says
the incendiary theory has no foundation
whatever, and attributes the burning OF
the bridge TO the carelessness of the sec
tion-hands.

LIFE AND PROPERTY LOST.
Another Terrible Hail Storm Near Rem
vile, MINI.

RENyILLE, MIsN., Aug. IA terrific
hail storm struck here from the northwest
Wednesday evening, followed soon after
by cloud from the northeast. The two
met on the outskirts Of the village, and
between the terrific gale and hail great
deal Of damage was done. Mrs. A.
r. HAHN was instantly killed and
Gustave Kreiger fatally injured. Near
ly every building in town was more
or less injured. Grain stacks in the path
OF the storm were blown down and grain
partly, if not wholly, ruined. All grain in
the shock was threshed out and will be a
total loss. Corn is completely stripped
and ruined. The path of the storm was
about a mile wide and five or six long. The
damage to buildings and grain can not be
estimated now, but will be very consider
able. People sought their cellars or the
loss of life would have been greater.
Large pieces of ice fell during the storm.

A BLOCK BURNED.
Disastrous Connagration at Pittsburgh.
PennsYIYanIa.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 12.-The most dis
astrous fire known here for many years is
now raging in the heart of the city, and
the damage, which can not be estimated,
will certainly reach up in the millions.
Shortly Jefore 10 o'clock tonight smoke
was seen issuing from the rear of Masonic
Hall on Fifth avenue. The fire seemed to
be in the second story, which was occu-
pied by Campbell Il Dick as a carpet ware
room. An alarm was quickly sound
ed, and the fire department responded
promptly, but before they arrived the rear
portion of the building was burning. In a
short time the flames spread to Hamilton's
magnificent nine-story building adjoining,
and by II O'Clock the flames had reached
such proportions that the entire fire de-
partment Of the city was called out. At
II :45 Schmidt & Fridays building, another
fine structure nine stories high, caught
from intense heat, and in ten minutes
more the Dispatch Building adjoining was
in flames. These buildings are now
burning fiercely, and at midnight there
are no indications Of the fire being con-
trolled. 1t is feared that half the block
ON the north side of Fifth avenue, between
Smithdeld and Wood streets is. doomed.
Aug. l3.-2 :eJ a. m.-The flames are un-
der control, but the fire is not extinguish-
ed. The loss will reach $l,000,0O0.

Guns Seized al Morehead.

MoREHEAD, KY. Aug. 11.-About dark
yesterday afternoon considerable excite
ment was caused by number of explo
sions near the depot A company of the
guards that was on duy rushed to the
scene, but found no one. The long roll
called the entire camp out and many cits-
gems rushed to the soldiers for protection.
This afternoon case of guns and ammu-
milton belonging to 2. I. Young was
shipped from Mt Sterling to man in
Morehead, and upon their arrival they
were seized by the guards by order of the
officer in command, who now holds the
ugly freight awaiting orders from General

An Aeronaut's Peril.

CHATswoKTu, ILL, Aug. l4.-At Cullom,
III, some eight miles north of here, Prof
Talbert the balloonist, made an ascension
about six o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The balloon arose about one thousand
feet in the air and sailed away in a
northwc sterly direction, Soon after
starting it was discovered to be on fire,
smoke rolling from the top in clouds. By
the time it had sailed about one mile
away. 1t then began to come down very
rapidly, and struck the ground with a
rush. Prof Talbcrt escaped severe injury
only by good luck. About all that was
left of the balloon were the rings on the
bottom The excitement of the people
was intense.

EUROPEAN PRISONS.
Tortures Inflicted Upon Women In France
and Russia.

and Russia.
Nothing-not even the feeling OF a
mother-is respected in those prisons,
If mother has newborn child-a
little creature born in the darkness OF
n casement--the baby will be taken
away from her and retained as long as
the mother refuses to be more sim
cere;h that is, refuses TO betray her
friends. She must refuse food for sew
eral days or attempt suicide to have her
baby back. When such horrible deeds
can be perpetrated, what is the use of
speaking of minor torturesP And still
the worst is reserved for those who are
abroad at liberty-for those who are
guilty of loving their imprisoned
daughter, their brother or their
sister! Their basest kinds of in
timidation = the most refined and
cruel - are used with regard
to them by the hirelings of the auto
cracy, and must confess that the edu-
Gated procureurs in the service of the
state police used to be much worse in
this matter than the officers of the gen
darmerie or of the third section.
OF course, attempts at suicide
sometimes by means of piece of glass
taken from broken window, some
times by means of matches carefully
concealed for whole months, or some
times by means of strangulation with II
towel--are necessary consequences of
such system. Out of one hundred
and ninty-three, nine went mad and
eleven attempted suicide. l knew one
of them after his release. He has
made, he said to me, at least half a
dozen such attempts. He is now dying
in French hospital In Russian and
French Prisons.
